It's funny that you had no problem with the meaning of "Negroid" a few weeks ago. You even defined it for another poster:

December 2004

Thought2: Of course not all Africans (Blacks) are Negroid nor are all Negroids African.

supercar: What are you referring to "Negroid" here?

Thought2: ...within the context of this sort of discussion I interpret it to mean the stereotypical "True Negro" or "Broad African" type, following Keita.

All of these phenotypes would be recognized in current social terms as Black African.

But not Negroid. "Black African" is an empty social term Afronuts invented to blacken everyone. "Negroid" has a specific anthropological meaning, and there were no Negroids in East Africa until after 1000 B.C.

Non answer, the question is what is your definition of Negroid and Caucasoid. Two weeks into your ridiculous rant and you are not even able to define your own terms.

The so-called "Negroid" or forest Negro, would then not apply to quite a large number of black Africans east, west, north and South. And so, what has this to do with black Africans? If we are to be that specific in looks for black folks, while disregarding geneology, then black Africans could be quite a large number of races, based on facial features, skin tone, and size of body. If this were the case, most north Europeans who are paler in comparison to southern Europeans, taller than the short stocky southern Europeans amongst other phenotypical differences, would be two different races. In that case southern Europeans aren't caucasoid. In the meantime, we are waiting for your definition of "Negroid" and "caucasoid", if indeed you were not using Thought's reference (which needless to say, is not Thought's definition of 'black African') to the terminology, as to imply it as your definition?

Evil Euro has been discredited enough now, that he feels the need to repeat everything that has been addressed in previous threads. He has no where to go, it appears.

Euro-liar talking more crap, Ethiopians aren't paternally Caucasoid, the study you quoted from even says that they have uneven male vs female geneflow, stop telling lies you idiot based on an old outdated study and your failure to properly read a map, lets look at some up to date studies..

Percentage of Haplogroup J

Ethiopian Amhara
Total : 35.4%

  • J-67 : 2.1%
  • J-267*: 33.3

    Ethiopian Oromo
    Total: 3.8%

  • J-102: 1.3%
  • J-267: 2.6%

    Haplogroup E Percentage

    Ethiopian Amhara
    Total :45.8%

  • E-M78 :22.9%
  • P-2* :10.4%
  • E-M35*:10.4%
  • M-123 :2.1%

    Origin, Diffusion, and Differentiation of Y-Chromosome Haplogroups E
    and J: Inferences on the Neolithization of Europe and Later Migratory
    Events in the Mediterranean Area

    Am. J. Hum. Genet. 74:1023–1034, 2004


    So how the hell are Ethiopians Paternally Caucasoid? Note: M-267 is indicative of Arab mixture, notice the disparity between Oromos and Amharas


    For the last time moron, Somalis are Elongated East Africans not West African-Arab hybrids, quit parroting Dienekes logic. It has already been proven that Somalis have no West African elements in them, read..

    Y-Chromosome analysis of the Somali population
    suggests the origin of the haplogroup E3b1
    Juan J. SANCHEZ °
    & Claus BØRSTING (°), Charlotte HALLENBERG (°); Alexis HERNANDEZ (*) ; Niels MORLING (°)

    (°) Department of Forensic Genetics, Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Copenhagen, 11 Frederik V’s Vej, DK-2100, Denmark. juan.sanchez@forensic.ku.dk
    (*) Instituto Nacional de Toxicología, Departamento de Canarias, La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain.


    We genotyped a total of 389 males from Somalia, Sub-Saharan Western Africa, Turkey, and Iraq by a PCR based assay with co-amplification of 25 DNA-fragments and detection of 35 Y chromosome biallelic markers with the single base primer extension technique. A total of 19 different haplogroups were identified. In Somalis, 14 haplogroups were identified. The haplogroup E3b1*(xE3b1b) was found in 77.2 % of the male Somali population, in 6.3 % of Iraqi males and in 1.7 % of male Turks whereas E3b1* was not found in Sub-Saharan Western African males. The frequency of haplogroup E3b1*(xE3b1b) in Somali males is the highest observed in any populations to date, and we suggest that the Somali male population is the origin of this haplogroup. Furthermore, the results are in agreement with a gene flow from Eastern to Northern Africa from a homeland in Somalia. In Somalis, 13.4 % of the males carried J or K haplogroups, which are found relatively frequent in e.g. Iraqis, Turks, and other Arab and Asian populations. This might reflects the historical findings of foreign trading posts at the Somali Gulf of Aden from the 7th century. The distribution of haplogroups will be compared to those in Western African population.

    You can say that again. Evil's rational is that East Africans have changed from his so-called hybrid Central African-Caucasians (since it was constantly discredited) to "non-racial" Africans, who happen to now be the proto-human for every single race on the planet. But his basis for saying that East Africans are paternally caucasoid, stems from a misguided notion that somehow E3b is caucasoid. Well what do you know, he actually believes that genes are "caucasoid" or "negroid". All the while, he has no idea what these terms mean. The guy is confused, any rational person can see that.

    “Blood-factor analysis, for instance, shows many traits that cut across racial boundaries in a purely clinal fashion with very few if any "breaks" along racial boundaries. (A cline is a gradient of change, such as from people with a high frequency of blue eyes, as in Scandinavia, to people with a high frequency of brown eyes, as in Africa.)

    Morphological characteristics, however, like skin color, hair form, bone traits, eyes, and lips tend to follow geographic boundaries coinciding often with climatic zones. “

    Thought Writes:

    Evil “E”, one of the problems with this theory is that Keita has already demonstrated that East and NE Africans trend along a cline with other Africans.

    Thought Posts:

    S.O. Keita

    Exploring northeast African metric craniofacial variation at the individual level: a comparative study using principal components analysis.

    Am J Hum Biol. 2004 Nov-Dec;16(6):679-89

    “The third principal component broadly describes trends within Africa and Europe: specifically, a change from a combination of a relatively narrower face and longer vault, to one of a wider face and shorter vault; it shows the northeast quadrant Africans along a cline with the other Africans.”

    Thought Writes:

    Evil “E”, J. L. Angel, Carleton Coon and even Dienekes accept that there are different morphological types indigenous to Europe. My question is how is it possible under your classification system for there to be variability AND unity between southern and northern Europeans, yet ONLY variability between East and West Africans? Do you not see an inconsistency in your thesis?

    And we still await your definition for this "specific anthropological meaning". I reiterate, people who have a weak or invalid position generally refuse to define their terms in civil debate. This allows them the flexibility to never be pin-pointed with a specific position. These are the types of people who are ignoble and will go to ANY length to win a debate. They are not truth seekers.

    The real reason Evil "E" never tells us specifically what a "caucasoid" is, is because once he does the absurdity of making mesolithic Sub-Saharan East Africans "caucasoid" is apparent to even the most radical Medi-Centrist.

    No doubt of the Chinese were dominant in bioanthropology as Westerners now are, their idea of "true negro" would be Hiernaux's "elongated Africans"--for obvious reasons. And the so-called "true negro" of Eurocentric anthropology would be considered "mixed" with "Mongoloid" traits.

    Lamin: Point taken, but In fairness to China, it does not have the tradition of scientific racism put to the service of imperialism equivalent to Europe.

    It doesn't have a an equivalent of the NAZI movement that annihiliated minorities for being insufficently 'racially pure' - 'Sinoids'.

    Therefore it hasn't spawned the same psychological disorder as seen among the Southern European ethnophobes, via their response to the Aryanists in the North.

    China isn't Europe.

    Here's another map that confirms the one I posted. Ethiopians are in the Afro-Asiatic cluster paternally, near other Caucasoids and far from the Niger-Congo groups.

    I suppose you're going to tell me that this too is from an "old outdated study".

    Look in that cluster and you will also see the Lemba people there, who are NOT paternal Caucasoid and look very distinct from Ethiopians, the plot only confirms what I have said in that it indicates uneven male vs female mixture. Dumbass!

    Evil "E", even over the internet you should be more honest than that. I stated that I don't use the term "Negroid". Within the context of my statement I pointed out that I was interpreting this term for someone else.

    EuroDisney, That map states:
    - Ethiopians closer to Europeans than Algerians
    - English are closer to French than the Aussies
    - Poles are closer to Italians than Czechs

    All are wrong. This map is not outdated, it is simply false. I can't believe you would actually use this. For the past two weeks, you have proven nothing.

    Over four threads have been created by EuroDisney, and I am quite certain that he will open up another thread soon. We need to change our strategy. Instead of going on the defensive, we need to go on the offensive. We need to attack Europe's 'purity'.

    If you really understand the argument presented by EuroDisney, then you realise that it has no validity, and there is nothing to 'attack'. The most important thing is to understand 'why' his argument is false. And why he needs to make a false argument. Lessons to be learned, and mistakes not to be repeated in kind.

    ps - You make a good point about the maps, althoug Aus refers to Austria and not Australia.

    Actually the opposite end of the ongoing exchanges, i.e., from that of Evil Euro's ideology, has consistently been on the offensive. The onus is really on Evil Euro to justify using terms like "Caucasian" on both DNA and indigenous people of East sub-Saharan Africa. He hasn't proven that E3b or PN2 clade for that matter, is of Eurasian origin, which is what he is trying to do here. In his mind, the alternative is to have E3b not be of 'sub-Saharan' African origin, for he sees tropical 'sub-Sahara' as being synonymous with "Negroid", and therefore the need for Ethiopians to also fit into what he perceives as a "non-Negroid" zone, i.e., North Africa. A simple reference to a map is only needed to show how mentally devoid that notion is. As pointed out earlier, he uses these terms in a manner, so as to hide behind them. He has therefore continued to dodge the request for him to define his terms, one which will undoubtedly expose him. He's also failed to provide chronology of the appearance of so-called "Negroids" and "Caucasians" in East Africa, not to mention the 'mysterious' Caucasian ancestors to East Africans. It is not so much the question of being defensive, than correcting and exposing Evil Euro's fragile ideology. The burden is on Evil Euro to prove that southern Europeans have no admixture from tropical Africa, when indeed an apparent ingredient of their gene pool, the E3b, happens to be that of a tropical sub-Saharan African origin!

    Here is a critical assessment of Howell's fallacious methodology:

    Assessment of classification of crania using Fordisc 2.0: Nubian X-Group Test.


    J. Edwards, A. Leathers, et al.

    ...based on Howell’s sampling Fordisc 2.0 authors state that "there are no races, only populations," yet it is clear that Howell was intent on providing known groups that would be distributed among the continental "racial" groups.

    We tested the accuracy and effectiveness of Fordisc 2.0 using twelve cranial measurements from a homogeneous population from the X-Group period of Sudanese Nubia (350CE-550CE). When the Fordisc program classified the adult X-Group crania, only 51 (57.3%) of 89 individuals were classified within groups from Africa. Others were placed in such diverse groups as Polynesian (11.24%), European (7.86%), Japanese (4.49%), Native American (3.37%), Peruvian (3.36%), Australian (1.12), Tasmanian (1.12%), and Melanesian (1.12%). The implications of these findings suggest that classifying populations, whether by geography or by "race", is not morphologically or biologically accurate because of the wide variation even in homogeneous populations.


    The truth is out there: how NOT to use FORDISC.

    Freid et al. (2005)

    FORDISC is an interactive computer program designed to classify an unknown adult cranium based on the reference samples in its database. FORDISC uses discriminant functions to construct a classification matrix and assign group membership of the unknown cranium into one of the selected reference groups. The researcher guides the analysis by choosing the populations against which to classify the unknown, choosing from eleven population samples from the Forensic Anthropology Data Bank or twenty-eight population samples from Howells' (1989) worldwide database. The utility and efficacy of FORDISC has been criticized for providing 'incorrect' classifications, however these disputed results are often due to inappropriate reference samples and failure to properly evaluate the typicality and posterior probabilities provided by the program. In this paper, unknown crania from populations known not to belong to any of the reference samples will be analyzed, demonstrating the interpretation of posterior and typicality probabilities provided in the FORDISC output and the importance of the use of an appropriate reference sample.
